2 nordic spots in Kluuvi and Keskusta, editor-picked by TableJourney. All of Kluuvi and Keskusta's food · All nordic in Helsinki.
Jason ★ 4.6
Yrjönkatu 5 E, 00120 Helsinki
Jason opened in 2024 as Jari Vesivalo's first solo room after years leading the starred Olo, folding Asian flavours into Nordic produce on Yrjönkatu.
Tip: Vesivalo ran the kitchen at Olo for years before going solo here. Two menus only: the Jason and its plant-based twin.
Savoy ★ 4.5
Eteläesplanadi 14, 00130 Helsinki
Savoy on the eighth floor of the Esplanadi has served Finnish-French cooking since 1937 in an Aalto interior; vorschmack is the house signature.
Tip: The 1937 Aalto-designed room and roof terrace look over Esplanade Park. It sits in the Michelin Guide, and lunch is the affordable entry.
